Destructive Rituals feat. Arden and the Wolves

Cellmod - Destructive Rituals feat. Arden and the Wolves

"Noise music remains a powerful force for a union between texture, rhythm, and the basics of melody. KK NULL has developed it into a voice of its own. Resembles Surfing With the Alien if slowed down to the pace of erosion and intensified with a Fripp/Eno sensibility of stacking melodic fragments." -Death Metal Underground

"Evokes an atmosphere full of mysticism, inviting us to introspection through a hypnotic and transcendental sound journey. An aesthetically stunning project and deeply immersive listening experience." -Electro Emotions

Japan-based KK NULL and Swiss guitarist Joel Gilardini team up to present the the third installment of their Psychic Drones series. Noise devotee KK NULL (the mastermind behind ZENI GEVA whose collaborators include the late Steve Albini, John Zorn, Sonic Youth, Merzbow, and countless others) and Gilardini, a sound researcher and experimentalist have been collaborating on their expansive and evocative series since 2020.

Clocking in at over an hour in length, for all of its foggy din, Psychic Drones 3 is exceptionally varied in tone. Noise, dark ambient, and drone are well-represented, yet as a whole, the piece is an emotional voyage in both synthetic and organic sound design, making incredible use of spatial mixing throughout.

From Psychic Drones 3's opening of intercepted menacing sub-bass transmissions to its final noise oscillation as the faint rhythm of heartbeats and EKG equipment fade out, the album is a prime example of audio as paint on canvas. Soothing arpeggios fade into screeching noise as surges of overwhelming warmth wash in and out. Amidst all of this chaos, there's a surprising, yet carefully curated mix of clarity and calm.

c89.5 On The Edge - En Esch Interview - 9/22/24

In collaboration with GIVE/TAKE, Avalanche Recordings, Justin K. Broadrick and Cocaine Opera we give you the exclusive premiere of "Mercury Eats Gold", taken from the forthcoming self-titled release by Tactical Pagan.

In essence his own take on the 1980's industrial music warps everything into a mesmerizing and catchy rhythmic sound that gives all the good parts of classic industrial music a new life through other genres and influences. Some are minimal, other are bombastic and with a razor sharp edge he lunges at you with this release. Cutting out all the worst parts of industrial and throwing in the good, desolate, abandoned and hopelessness that echoes throughout each track. 

"Mercury Eats Gold" is a noise-driven and minimalistic trip, through sampling and echoing guitars that bounce off the soundscape. Delving into a bleak outlook of sound that carries itself through noise-born rhythms and melodies that are created with "simplicity" in mind and turned into an ambitious and complex sound as a whole the further the track goes.
